List, I'll post this due to the influx of inquiries, thanks . . . This is a tool I devised to adjust letoff and drop. It weighs .7oz and fits in your tool case, portable. It takes up less room than a screw driver. The nice thing about it is that it attaches to the action so you don't need that acre of space to hold the bulky rack. It employs a line instead of a rail, so there is no chance of setting letoff too high. I've been useing mine for a year now. It's the only guide I use for LO/drop. It is available from Pianotek (# TLRG - $5 +s/h , include it in an order) I have them too, $6 inc. s/h. It's as handy as a keydip block. Order soon to take advantage of this introductory price ! :-) >Here is what a few techs are saying: vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv >From: JIMRPT@aol.com >Jon, > These are far too simple to ever work!!
